The Cult of Staccato [20:56 | AUG 19 2024 | Administrative Results]

>The Staccato Handgun has developed a cult like following amongst the gun guy crowd. Some love it, some hate it. It has become the premier handgun for law enforcement and I weapon that I was excited to check out.

Timestamps: >1. 00:00 Is the Staccato for you? >1. 00:20 Mayor of Kingstown >1. 01:00 Welcome back fellas! >1. 01:47 Nitty Gritty History >1. 03:20 POP culture >1. 04:17 They gave me a Staccato🅿️ >1. 05:14 Thanks AP! >1. 05:35 My experience with the firearm >1. 06:00 The law enforcement market >1. 07:32 Price >1. 08:15 Skill issue >1. 09:10 Grouping and speed test >1. 10:35 Reliability >1. 11:32 Pros and Cons >1. 15:24 Pay to Play? >1. 16:00 Is it worth it for you? >1. 19:13 Premier Duty Hand Gun >1. 19:43 Was he yappin chat? or was he spittin facts?

>The Staccato 2011 is a modern, high-performance pistol that traces its roots back to the classic 1911 design, which has been a staple of firearms since its introduction by John Browning in the early 20th century. The original 1911 was renowned for its reliability, accuracy, and stopping power, making it a preferred sidearm for military and law enforcement personnel. The 2011, an evolution of this iconic platform, was developed to meet the needs of competitive shooters and law enforcement agencies seeking greater capacity and enhanced performance. The Staccato brand, known for its commitment to precision engineering and quality, has become synonymous with high-end pistols that push the boundaries of the traditional 1911 design.

>The Staccato 2011 stands out for its unique combination of features that set it apart from its predecessors. One of the most notable specifications is its double-stack magazine, which allows for a significantly higher round capacity compared to the single-stack 1911. The 2011 also features a polymer grip module combined with a steel frame, creating a lightweight yet durable firearm. Additionally, the Staccato 2011 is equipped with a match-grade barrel, a crisp trigger pull, and a modular design that allows for easy customization. These specifications make it a versatile weapon, suitable for a range of applications, from competition shooting to personal defense.

>In contemporary use, the Staccato 2011 has gained widespread popularity among competitive shooters, law enforcement agencies, and firearm enthusiasts. Its blend of traditional 1911 ergonomics with modern enhancements has made it a favorite for those who demand precision and reliability. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the increased magazine capacity and improved accuracy, while competitive shooters are drawn to its performance and customization options. The Staccato 2011 is often praised for its smooth shooting experience, with many users noting its ability to maintain accuracy even during rapid-fire situations. Overall, the Staccato 2011 continues to build on the legacy of the 1911, offering a cutting-edge solution for modern shooters.

  • Together In Electric Dreams
  • TIL, thanks for sharing this song with us!

    The Human League's Phil Oakey teamed up with electronic master Giorgio Moroder for this classic '80s tune.

    Giorgio Moroder wrote 'Together in Electric Dreams', intended for a male solo vocal.

    Movie director Steve Barron suggested his former colleague, Human League frontman Philip Oakey, for the part.

    The song was later credited to Moroder and Oakey, after the two teamed up in the recording studio.

    Moroder is best known for his production work and is often called the 'Father of Disco'.

    The film Electric Dreams was director Steve Barron's first full feature film. His previous work included directing a number of music videos, with his most famous being The Human League's 'Don't You Want Me' in 1981.^[[1] The Story of... 'Together in Electric Dreams' by Phil Oakey and Giorgio Moroder | Tom Eames | 4 November 2021 | https://www.smoothradio.com/features/the-story-of/together-in-electric-dreams-song-lyrics-video/]


    Together In Electric Dreams (Remastered 2003 / From "Electric Dreams" Original Motion Picture... [03:52 | Philip Oakey - Topic]^[[2] YT Link: https://youtu.be/vVJYBPQyFTQ]

    This synth pop ballad captures the story of a romance.

    The song was based upon Steve Barron’s film, “Electric Dreams” (Barron directed the Human League’s music videos, he directed “Don’t You Want Me”).

    spoiler

    In the film, the lead character Miles finds himself trapped in a love triangle with his neighbour called Madeline and super computer which becomes alive. The computer, coining himself Edgar, becomes alive due to being doused in Champagne and a faulty set up.

    The film ends with Edgar committing suicide as he accepts Miles and Madeline’s love for each other, as he send extreme electrical volts into himself.

    The final scene shows Miles and Madeline on holiday listening to the radio with Edgar (being the voice) dedicating the song ‘Together in Electric Dreams" to the “ones he loves.”

    The song encapsulates this narrative with the relationship being between Miles and Madeline, with their admiration for each other being solidified within the death of Edgar.

    The song was originally released to advertise the film but quickly overshadowed the film and became a success in its own right as it peaked at No. 3 on the UK charts.

    Oakey stated that it is ironic as the track took ten minutes to record without any hope or realisation that it would become a worldwide hit^[[3] https://genius.com/Philip-oakey-and-giorgio-moroder-together-in-electric-dreams-lyrics]

    Why Did Mozilla Remove XUL Add-ons?
  • TIL.

    Thanks for sharing!


    Edit: added quote below

    By design, WebExtensions is more limited than the promiscuous extension mechanism. By design, it also works better. Most of the Firefox development tax has disappeared, as only the WebExtensions API needs to be protected, rather than the entire code of Firefox. Most of the maintenance tax has disappeared, as the WebExtensions API are stable (there have unfortunately been a few exceptions). It is also much simpler to use, lets add-on developers share code between Firefox and Chromium add-ons and should eventually make it easier to write extensions that work flawlessly on Desktop and Mobile.

  • The Elite's War on Remote Work Has Nothing to Do with Productivity
  • "You know what they want?

    They want obedient workers.

    Obedient workers.

    People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough, to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs, with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it." -- George Carlin


    David Graeber's book on bullshit jobs blew the myth of office productivity wide open several years ago. The elites have been promising us shorter work weeks for more than a century now. We have the technology to make it happen. As we speak, they're bragging about their new AI minions.

    Of course, that article even admits that onsite employees aren’t more productive. They just find different ways to “goof off,” like shopping online or scrolling their phones. The real ire seems to stem from envy, that remote workers are capable of meeting their responsibilities while also doing healthy things and taking care of themselves, like taking a walk in the middle of the day or (gasp) even a nap. Ironically, wellness articles have been telling bosses to let their employees take walks or naps in the middle of the day for almost 20 years.

    Many news outlets finally came clean last year and reported that a big chunk of companies might simply be using office return mandates as an excuse to lay off employees and “restructure” their workforce.

    Anywhere from 12 to 20 percent of office space remains vacant. It’s worse than the 2008 recession. If these landlords can’t find a way to make money off their corporate real estate soon, they’re going to start defaulting on their loans. The landlords will go bankrupt, and banks will wind up with giant office towers they can’t sell. More than $1 trillion will go poof.

    According to a piece in the Harvard Business Review, the $1 trillion will come due between now and 2026. That explains why CEOs keep making these edicts, and newspapers keep trying to trash remote work. As the piece explains, “The damage could metastasize into a full-blown financial crisis if scores or even hundreds of small and midsize commercial banks fail simultaneously.”

    The Federal Reserve’s misguided war on inflation has made everything even worse over the last couple of years. By raising interest rates, they’ve motivated more companies to ditch their office leases. Now commercial real estate is in a death spiral that could tank the economy (again).

    Major cities have spent the last several decades catering to these corporate landlords. Now their entire downtowns rely on workers for commerce. We’re talking about all those restaurants and coffee shops that serve breakfast and lunch to white-collar workers, and all the bars where people used to go and complain about work before they spent an hour commuting home.

    Once again, the elite have gotten themselves into big trouble. They want the rest of us to bail them out. If they don't want our tax money, they want us to give up our freedom and autonomy. They want us to sacrifice ourselves on the altar of capitalism to protect their fortunes.

  • Whitechapel - Visceral Retch
  • Submit or consume the consumed

    The gags of dissonance echo as they preach

    “‘A Visceral Retch’ is a song that fans of The Somatic Defilement will latch onto immediately. It was one of the first songs we had in the chamber to work with. This song came to light thanks mostly to [guitarist] Zach Householder. He showed us and we all immediately said, ‘yup, that’s it.’ Zach is notorious for very dark and horror-like vibes so this album is right in his wheelhouse. The song is disturbing. Imagine being put in a situation of survival by gluttonous, mammoth demons that give you a choice. Eat the demons’ waste, eat each other, or starve to death. The twist, you’re against the people you love the most. It’s a way to find the ones that are truly evil people to build and strengthen their cult. It also represents how horrible people can really be, when push comes to shove.” – Phil Bozeman^[[1] https://genius.com/Whitechapel-a-visceral-retch-lyrics]

    Beach Bunny - Prom Queen [03:07 | Pop, USA, In English, Bedroom Pop, Alternative Rock, Pop-Rock, Singer-Songwriter, Indie Rock, Indie Pop, Independent]

    >“Prom Queen” is the title song from Beach Bunny’s EP Prom Queen. The song was initially released in 2018 but rose to popularity from the popular video app TikTok in 2020.

    >The song itself is the inner monologue of a girl struggling to accept herself for who she is; it follows the girl as she changes herself to fit the societal ideal of beauty.

    >The message of this song is to remind the listener (who is most likely a young woman, seeing as Beach Bunny’s genre is self-proclaimed “sad-girl” music) to not change themselves to get people to like them and to learn to be happy with who they are on the inside, because the relationships they form from being beautifully, uniquely, and totally herself will be more rewarding and they will feel more “okay.”^[[1] https://genius.com/Beach-bunny-prom-queen-lyrics]

    "WHO AM I" by BERWYN explores themes of identity, struggle, and the cyclical nature of life experiences. The song reflects an internal battle between highs and lows, revealing the artist's journey to self-understanding amidst external pressures and personal challenges. BERWYN grapples with questions of self-worth and belonging while also addressing broader societal issues of loneliness and mental health.

    NXCRE & The Villains - USURPER [03:36 | Rock, Alternative, Alternative Rock]

    >Usurper is the second single off of NXCRE & The Villains' upcoming album; “FEAN IS WAR''

    >Usurper tells the tale of a young boy destined to be crowned king by God. Only to start doubting his abilities and fearing the position of power due to imposter syndrome. The story ends with the boy coming to terms with his responsibilites and grabbing the metaphorical sword of justice. It’s a story of doubt, faith, overcoming mental burdens and a final triumph against one’s self. The only real opponent in our lives.^[[1] https://genius.com/Nxcre-usurper-lyrics]

    Zelenskyy was urged not to invade Kursk. He did it anyway. [Jamie Dettmer | September 16, 2024 | politico.eu]
    www.politico.eu Zelenskyy was urged not to invade Kursk. He did it anyway.

    Some of Ukraine’s top army commanders questioned the cross-border assault into Russia, Ukrainian military officials tell POLITICO.

    Zelenskyy was urged not to invade Kursk. He did it anyway.

    >KYIV — His severe wounds will no doubt alter the course of his life, but the 19-year-old Ukrainian paratrooper has no regrets about the part he played in the surprise and dramatic cross-border incursion into Russia’s Kursk region launched in mid-August.

    >Like his brothers in arms, he felt exhilarated when the order to attack came crackling along the radio airwaves as the sun rose. Here was the chance to hit back at Russia. “I felt myself a part of history, because it was the first time since the Second World War Russia’s been invaded,” Sergei, the flaxen-haired trooper, told POLITICO, who granted him permission to use a pseudonym as he is not allowed to speak to media.
